In September, Sandy and I helped with a fundraiser for our local animal shelter. The event, called No Beast Feast, created by our friend and fellow veg lover Jo, […]

Happy Halloween friends. I simply love Halloween and the themed foods that go along with it. I buy every pumpkiny thing I can get my hands on. I have had to make a deal with myself that I will only buy my beloved pumpkin, soy, decaf lattes on Fridays. I wish every day was Friday. […]

For the second exciting installment of modernizing vintage foods, I give to you, the vegan Waldorf Salad. For a brief history, I went to The Kitchen Project.com. “Waldorf salad [WAWL-dorf] (was) created at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in 1896 not by a chef but by the maître d’hôtel, (dining room manager) Oscar Tschirky, the Waldorf salad […]

Happy Meatless Monday. This week I want to rock meatless in a vintage way so I am starting us off with a dish that any child of the seventies will have heard of, Turkey Divan. When I was little, my mom used to make Turkey Divan. It was a concoction of turkey and copious amounts […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I love breakfast. Breakfast welcomes you to the day, it energizes your sleepy body and feeds your brain so you can be inspired and effective. One of the most common questions I have heard since becoming vegan has been, “If you don’t eat eggs, then what do you eat for breakfast?” It is […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I have found that making one dish that we can enjoy several times makes it much easier to eat healthy, meatless meals even when I am in the middle of a harried week or weekend. On Saturday in the middle of a seven hour volunteer shift with our animal shelter, I came […]
